Why travelers trust Tabimawari’s Japan guide
Planning a trip to Japan sounds exciting, until you open your browser. Too many cities, too many opinions, too many tabs. What most travelers need isn’t more information, but a clear structure.
That’s exactly what the Japan Complete Guide & Itinerary by Tabimawari was created for.
Built by someone who has lived in Japan and traveled extensively across the country, this guide combines essential highlights with carefully selected local spots. The goal is simple: help you experience Japan smoothly, without stress or overload.
What’s inside the guide
1,200+ curated places and activities
From major cities to quieter regions, the guide includes more than 1,200 verified spots. Each one comes with a short explanation, category, and precise map location. You’ll find both must-see landmarks and lesser-known places worth your time.
10 ready-made itineraries from 2 to 23 days
The guide includes structured itineraries adapted to different trip lengths and travel styles. Whether you’re planning a short stay or a full Japan loop, everything is organized by pace, theme, and logic so your days actually flow.
60+ practical travel tips
Transportation, cultural etiquette, food, accommodation, safety, seasonal advice. These are not generic tips, but real answers to questions travelers usually figure out too late.

Tools that make planning easier

You’re not locked into a fixed schedule. You can adjust days, swap activities, slow down or speed up depending on your interests. The guide adapts to you, not the opposite.
